I consider propaganda when you invent facts. Bush and monkey's?? Must have missed that, but another keen observation by Moore if you ask me. He has been right, all along, about everything. It is only now that most of America has caught up (approval ratings at what, 32% now?) --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| First of all, what does Michael Moore have to do with the credibility of the Flight 93 film? As if he's an automatic supporter of Moore just because he's a liberal. Its quite amusing to see generalities being thrown. "Oh, the people that rated it D's of F's are liberals! Those damn tree-huging terrorist traitors!" Please, it really makes yourself look like a dumbass. Perhaps they were rating it that way because it was a bad movie? Or how about the thought that they're exploiting a tragedy to make money? Wasn't a whole premises of the anti-Moore movement because he was making money off of what he did? No one knows for sure what exactly happened on that plane (although we should by now, but of coarse they're not releasing the black boxes), and I don't think we shall ever know for sure. But one thing is for sure, Al-Qaeda or not, I don't want to see the largest attack that happened on our soil be turned into a marketing ploy where reality is turned into an all-inspiring hero story. Most of what is on that movie is speculation. It's based off of true events, its not a show on the history channel. Anything that strays from realism and warps it into this typical hollywood love or hero story in the interests of making profit isn't exactly a documentary. And the fact that such things aren't taken as mostly fiction in which they are, means its propaganda. Anything that warps people's emotions, by showing grotesque images to relate something bad with something or someone, or anything that over-glorifies something for the benifit of others is called propaganda. This film is propaganda.

I just don't think people are buying it. Release the audio tapes I say. And while we are at it release the pentagon videos as well. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

Or are we supposed to believe that this plane evaporated on contact like the pentagon wreck? --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

It would have been nice if investigators had a chance to review the wreckage at the WTC before it was hauled off. Magic planes that just disappear! It is like we are kids again... just use your imagination! --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.
